Hi guys! I know, I know, long time no update… Again. As usual, busy busy busy. But I just had to post this, because I feel this project needs more exposure as it’s so awesome. I came across this project, named The Zelda Project by *Adella on deviantART (an excellent and stunning cosplayer herself!) and I think it’s simply amazing.

The Zelda Project is a Los Angeles, CA based group of friends who seek to bring to life the characters, settings, and overall feel of Ocarina of Time through photography and film. Our ultimate goal is to create the characters as they would appear in reality to the best of our abilities, placing them in beautiful sceneries true to their Hyrulean counterparts, and creating elaborate photosets, as well as a film short (coming once the cosplay segment of the project is completed!).

Now, I’m no big fan of cosplay because I feel that if you’re gonna dress up as a character, you gotta put some effort into the whole package and not just the outfit. Not many cosplayers pull that off sadly… A good cosplay in my opinion, is one where the person cosplaying looks very close to the original character. And this project downright nailed it. Take a look:

Not only do the shots capture the mood perfectly, but the cosplayers actually make it look like IRL Zelda. And that’s about the biggest compliment I can give about cosplay! So, if you have a dA account, be sure to subscribe and favorite their work :) Or visit their website and see what’s coming next!

Edit 12/30: Zeldathon ended (a day early unfortunately) with $280 from 51 contributors yay! And it’ll all go to Child’s Play Charity. Thanks to Zak and Matt (mcgamer) for playing and ofcourse for setting it up! I’ll definitely watch and chat along again next time, it’s been a great show :)

There are more marathons going on right now, for example Epic Marathon is playing for raising money for cancer research. Go check ‘em out: http://www.epicmarathon.net/

The team behind Zeldathon, a brand new website devoted to helping charities by broadcasting playthroughs of Zelda games announce their very first charity drive. From December 27th at 9am EST to December 31st at 9am, the Zeldathon team will be playing through every Zelda game they can.

The charity the Zeldathon team is hoping to help this year is the Child’s Play charity which gives toys and games to children in hospitals. The broadcast will be found on the Zeldathon site at http://tnmcproductions.com/zeldathon and on UStream.tv.

Zeldathon will be using multiple computers to broadcast a live game feed along with a small webcam feed so you can hear and interact with the game players. The Zeldathon team is also currently looking for websites to sponsor and host a feed on their sites.

More details on the drive will be added to the Zeldathon website soon at http://tnmcproductions.com/zeldathon.

Cory Godbey, a GoNintendo reader, made a bunch of incredibly awesome GoNintendo exclusive wallpapers. The wallpapers have a very cool and original style, I think they’re worth sharing :) Check them out here!

I know, I know… Long time no updates! School started again a month ago for me and it’s already keeping me quite busy. I wanted to update earlier but couldn’t find the time, sorry! Luckily Rohan ‘pushed’ me to post again, just to let you know I’m still alive, haha! And coincidentally, I have some time on my hands right now so that’s actually great timing ;)

Anyhoo, what’s new: not much, except for the wallpaper I uploaded a while ago already (but forgot to post about) and another affiliate: World Zelda Music Radio!
